Lara Croft is named by Guinness as the "Most Successful Human Videogame Heroine."

Guinness to track video game world records

Guinness World Records already compiles many of the world’s
most bizarre and amazing feats from mankind, but oddly enough, gaming
achievements are currently a little lacking from the latest book of world
records. That will soon change, however, as Guinness World Records will
announce at the London Book Fair that it is working on a book dedicated to
video game records.

"We reintroduced videogaming world records to our
annual book a few years ago, and it’s proved to be one of the most popular
sections with our core readers. It makes sense, therefore, to dedicate an
entire annual to the subject," said Guinness World Records editor in chief
Craig Glenday.

The book will include reviews of the 20 biggest games of the
year, plus record game scores, hardware profiles, sales figures, technical
achievements and professional gamer salaries, according to GamesIndustry.biz.

"Our record researchers are already scouring the
videogaming community for superlatives, and the vast number of games, gamers,
developers and platforms mean that we have an incredible pool of content to dip
into each year. It's going to be a very exciting project," added Glenday.

Guinness World Records:
Videogame Edition 2008 is expected to release in April 2008.
